]]>Do you know what product swapping is? The politically correct saying might be “Replacement Buying.” When I first heard this term, I was fairly skeptical. Why? Because my “friend” claimed replacement buying would be cheaper through Young Living. Yea right, I thought.

Now I am the one eating crow.

Basically replacement buying is the act of swapping out your old, chemical laden products for safer, non-toxic products. Meaning, instead of purchasing my chemical shampoo, I would purchase shampoo from Young Living that is safe and non-toxic.

Still. That seems expensive. Because — shipping. Right?

Well, shipping actually is cheaper with this Monthly Subscription Box called Essential Rewards.

So, get this: instead of purchasing my vitamins, laundry detergent, cleaning products, toothpaste, and deodorant, etc. from the box store I drive to with hungry kids, mostly likely, I order them monthly online through my Young Living wholesale membership. I end up saving money because I don’t end up throwing a bunch of extra items in my cart that were not on my list!

I swallowed the Kool Aid and enrolled in Young Living’s Wellness Subscription Box called Essential Rewards. Each month I change my order based on the needs our family has.

It honestly has saved us money by being on a budget of replacing our old products for superior ones in our Wellness Box.

Not convinced — check out the math below.

Honestly, it’s a no-brainer. And not to mention, by ordering regularly on Essential Rewards — I spend less, earn 105 points (or more) to redeem for free on other products plus I receive 4 gifts!!!!!!!

What would it look like if you committed to using the products for three months on Essential Rewards?

]]>If I recall correctly, I didn’t wear makeup on my wedding day. If I did, it was only mascara, and I didn’t own it. That was the object I borrowed. You think I jest?

So, why did I start wearing makeup at 40+ years of age?

Historically, Young Living has intervened in my life unexpectedly and in surprising ways. Remember my story about Thieves?

At the Young Living Grand Convention, I found myself sitting down for a makeover . . . with a professional makeup artist at that. Surprise surprise.

The Makeup Made Me Cry!

Before I posted a Facebook Live video of that epic makeover, I went up to Melissa Poepping, the brains (and beauty) behind Savvy Minerals and literally cried my eyes out.

Why?

People, I seriously had never really USED makeup. I was clueless about any and all forms of makeup. When Savvy Minerals was announced at convention, I wanted to crawl under my seat. I was excited for all the girly-girls, but my first thought was, “Does that mean I have to wear makeup AND teach classes about it too?”

And I cried, because as a leader in the company, I was so so so embarrassed that I was clueless about this feminine subject that just seemed like I should already know about. I mean, I’m a woman!

But I knew nothing about makeup and simply had to ask.

What I Found About the World of Makeup

I discovered that there is this secret world of camaraderie among women who wear makeup. I had no idea there was an underground makeup club, full of bonding, giggles, and encouragement. Makeup isn’t about hiding and creating a mask, but bringing out the beautiful aspects of who each one of us is — the delicate curves and lines that God gave us to make us unique and wonderful.

Why Am I Entering The World of Makeup?

So why am I entering the world of makeup after 41 years of avoiding it like the plague? A miracle, maybe?

Honestly, I think there are three main reasons:

Young Living has launched a line of makeup that has ingredients I will allow on my epidermis and my daughter’s delicate skin.

Through a lot of personal work and development, I see value in feeling confident and modeling a professional look as a leader to our Wise House Oils community.

I want to show my daughter how to be feminine, with a focus on allowing inward beauty to reflect outwardly.

Bonus: Because we have chosen to utilize the compensation plan Young Living offers to its members, it is important to be a product of the product.

Why would I encourage people to use the makeup if I personally don’t own it and use it regularly?

Seriously, look at the change in me!

So my question for you is — are you going to join me in jumping on the Savvy Mineral makeup train?

]]>Our dog adores coconut oil. We have no idea why. And sometimes it is rather annoying.

However, she dislikes dog bones.

Well, all except for the new Young Living dental dog treats. Guess what the first ingredient is?

Coconut oil.

While I love my dog so much that we feed her a Noah Diet — and she regularly has oils applied to her coat — and she is allowed to consume various supplements, I struggle to spend a lot of extra money on bonus treats. Ruth is already treated like a queen.

But she loves these treats oh so much.

So we decided to cut them up into smaller pieces with our Cutco knife. (Please be careful! Adults only!)

So, I forgot to change my Essential Rewards order from last month. Even so, all the items we received will be used for sure!
I love to give these lip balms to friends!
It’s always good to keep the “staples” on hand!
The new packaging for the Feelings Kit is gorgeous!!!I am reading Oola and wow — it is like being at an Oola event. (Order it on Amazon!) Loving it and pairing the book with my morning time in the Word of God.

]]>My dog uses essential oils. She probably has the biggest issues in the family.

Meet Ruth, our Rhodesian Ridgeback. While her breed is known for hunting lions, the scariest thing about this large dog is her bark. When she barks, that long skinny tail of hers becomes like a sword with its voracious slicing and those closest to her become momentarily deaf.

Her nails are slightly unmanageable that might frighten the apprehensive human.

We recently went away on a family vacation.

Because we do not enjoy paying the piper, we decided to have a sweet friend stay with Ruth at our house, to eliminate any emotional issues that might arise from being boarded. While it has been a long time since Ruth spent time at a kennel, it is NOT an event we are likely to repeat if it can be avoided.

Upon our return, we noticed that Ruth had developed an affinity for cardboard.

For example, I was going to be shipping some diffusers and Ruth ripped open several boxes. She left the diffusers in tact, but destroyed the packaging — leaving me left with no choice but to order new diffusers.

She found some cardboard in my clothes closet. We have kept extra tile in the BACK of the closet for 4 years — covered by a plastic container. However, she managed to open the heavy mirrored closet, rip the cardboard to pieces, and even move my dirty clothes into my husband’s closet (who had his sliding door shut, too).

Not only has she been enjoying cardboard, but she has developed a voracious appetite. Before we left, she would flick her food up in the air multiple times a day for hours before dining. She really wasn’t interested in her organic, paleo diet.

And probably what causes me emotional stress as it relates to her, is her sincere longing and desire to be with us at all times. She is able to mysteriously unlock her crate (which she had to begin using this week due to the cardboard fettish) when we leave the house. Ruth is able to sneak out the garage door and get into the van (albeit with some help from a certain little girl).

While Ruth has always been a family dog, she has taken family to a whole new level.

What Am I Doing to Help Her?

I haven’t yet felt compelled to take her to the vet. Mostly, because she doesn’t EAT the cardboard. Her coat is extremely beautiful. She doesn’t show signs of bloating, discomfort of physical pain. She isn’t aggressive or lethargic.

I believe we are dealing with an anxiety disorder.

We have been regularly using the Animal Scents oils on Ruth, in addition to diffusing Peace and Calming when we leave. I will be adding Citrus Fresh to her water and stroking her with Valor each day. Many anxiety issues can be treated with the use of minerals and enzymes. She will also be receiving Essentialzyes-4 and Mineral Essence.

How have you used essential oils on your pet?

]]>My compulsion for having a diffuser in every room has been rekindled. Two diffusers died this week.

While these developments could make me angry and disgruntled, I also realize that a diffuser is an abused tool in every our house.

I mean, we put water in it with a few drops of oil. And while the oil is good for us, it isn’t always so great for that machine.

And then we forget about that water in the reservoir. Until a child knocks the diffuser on the floor, thus anointing the carpeting or wood with precious floral waters.

Which brings me back to the fact that two diffusers are dead. I can’t bear to throw them away. So they sit in our coat closet. I think I imagine using them at an antique show some 20 years from now showing how we usedto diffuse essential oils. It will be a novelty for my grandchildren, should the Lord tarry.

I guess you could say, I’m looking for a new diffuser. While I have some spare diffusers lying around (let me know if you would like an order form for wholesale diffusers), those are already spoken for.

Black Friday Diffuser Deals

I’ve used my Aroma 2 Go diffuser for two years. And have been quite pleased with it (see how). Recently, though, Aroma 2 Go EXPANDED their inventory.

And everything is 30% off until Saturday morning at midnight.

You can still purchase the original Aroma 2 Go diffuser . . . but now in white, black, pink and purple.

My Front Hall Diffuser – 50% off

In my front hall, I have a yellow diffuser. It was $59.99 and is now $29.99.

Surprise, surprise.

I like to set the mood as soon as someone walks into our house. I LIKE this diffuser because I can fill it with water and ignore it for 24 hours.

It is from Stadler Form USA, who I might mention is having a HUGE sale. If you use the code CYBER2014, you will receive 50% off . . . and if you can enter a second code . . . I would love for you to mention Ilovediffusers.

Wear Your Aroma Diffuser

Now, my friend Amy has fantastic wax sealed pendants. While they aren’t currently on sale, they are reasonably priced at $10. Add some bling while you are at it. She makes the perfect essential oil gifts.

There are 10 designs to choose from and these make fantastic stocking stuffers.

It’s always a great mail day when our Young Living Essential Rewards order shows up!

No, this isn’t a weird fermented beverage —

It’s Animal Scents Ointment! It’s not just for animals though… Animal Scents Ointment is great for minor skin irritations, cuts, scrapes, dry skin, etc. I often put a drop of essential oil on the affected area, top with Animal Scents, and apply a band aide (if necessary).

You never can have too many Thieves waterless hand purifiers around! These bottles are the perfect size to carry in your purse, diaper bag, or stash in your office desk drawer. These would also make great teacher gifts or stocking stuffers!

We also like to have Inner Defense and Thieves essential oil on hand too. Both are part of our favorite natural winter products as they both help support a healthy immune system.

In fact there are several Thieves products we love to have around:

Thieves foaming hand soap

Thieves household cleaner — so many uses for this! Use it on mirrors, floors, furniture spot-cleaning, and even laundry stains.

Oregano is more than a spice found in pizza sauce!

Now this sleek, little diffuser is awesome!

Some other oils in my order were:

Goldenrod

Cinnamon Bark (I got free!)

Tangerine (I got free!)

Helichrysum

November 2014 Free Products

This month you can earn several awesome products— my favorite being Christmas Spirit essential oil!

]]>In the Midwest the leaves are starting to change along with the temperature! My favorite season is fall and I love all the memories I have that are tied to fall scents. Pumpkin pie, apple cider, apple pie, campfires — all remind me of fall and family! This month Young Living has three awesome oils that work perfectly at capturing the scents of the season.

October Promotionals

This month you can get a free 5ml bottle of orange essential oil, nutmeg essential oil and cinnamon bark essential oil with any 190 PV order! This retails around $56!

Place an order for 250 PV and receive one free 5-ml bottle each of Cinnamon Bark, Orange, and Nutmeg essential oils, plus a $20 enrollment voucher. (Retail Value: $76.58)

Place a $300 PV order and receive the three oils, $20 enrollment plus 10% back on Essential Rewards.

What would I do with these oils?

Well the first thing I would do is look up in the Essential Oils Desk Reference or Reference Guide for Essential oils to see how many uses there are for these oils!

Nutmeg: diffuse with cinnamon bark and pretend you are baking something :), it’s also part of the essential oil blend– Endoflex

Cinnamon Bark: is one of the single oils in Thieves essential oil.This is a hot oil. Have you ever tried to eat a mouth full of cinnamon hot candies? Yeah, it is this hot! Dilution is required! This is a great oil to diffuse. If you can stand the slight burn, I like to add a small drop to a warm cup of apple cider. Yum!
